I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy competition, especially if that competition challenges me to think outside my comfort zone. Riverfest had, what I hope is, their first annual Plein Air Competition. Plein Air is a french term for painting outdoors. I’ve been wanting to work on my thread painting but not sure what direction to take it. After some explaining and convincing, I purchased a battery operated sewing machine, found the right foot , and a new love of making 6”x6” landscapes.
